Abstract
The Age of Artificial Intelligence is here. In 2025, there are few regulations governing artificial intelligence. While the expansion of artificial intelligence is going in a relatively good direction, there is a risk that it can be misused. Misuse of technology is nothing new and will continue to happen. The lack of regulation in artificial intelligence is necessary because it raises the question of how we can move forward without knowing what the limits are. While artificial intelligence dominates the technology industry, new technology is starting to emerge. Quantum cryptography is expected to replace classical cryptography; however, the transition from classical to quantum cryptography is expected to occur within the next 10 years. The ability to transition from classical to quantum cryptography requires hybrid cryptography. Hybrid cryptography can be used now; however, similar to artificial intelligence, there is no regulation or support for the regulatory infrastructure regarding hybrid machines. This paper will explore the regulatory gaps in hybrid cryptography. The paper will also offer solutions to fix the gaps and ensure the transition from classical to quantum cryptography is safely and effectively completed.
